Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Dryer will not start.
• Dryer starts and then stops.
• Dryer does not stop when the door is opened.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before inspecting the part or harness.
• With the dryer unplugged, manually operate the door-switch actuator and check for normal mechanical movement/clicking.
• Inspect the switch connector and attached wire harness for a loose connection, damaged insulation, or damaged terminals.
• If qualified to use a multimeter, test switch continuity only with power disconnected and according to the appliance wiring information; lack of continuity can indicate a failed switch.
• Check that the dryer door closes fully and actuates the switch; do not bypass the door switch for operation.
